De-badged my focus today.. But now I can't get the adhesive off Got no autoglym tar remover or anything of that sort. Can anyone recommend something I might already have about the house? Tried WD40 but it didn't touch it. Would white spirit get it off or would that strip the paint work? What about the missus' nail polish remover?

dont use white spirit you could remove the paint...i tried tar remover on my sisters and it didnt work. might do if i had an old toothbrush lol

lol what can I do about mine then mate :( looking !Removed! minging at the moment

Warm it with a hairdryer and peel it gently.

Or use sticky stuff remover-

Been heating with hairdryer mate but it isn't peeling that easy and it's just making the paintwork really hot. Can you recommend anything I can get locally? From a tesco wilkinson or wickes for example lol that's about all I can get to without an unwanted trek out

You could use alcohol wipes like used for sterilising hands or try this-

Will have to give it a go. I know i can use petrol but I can't be arsed with putting a lil bit in the jerry can when I fill up tomorrow

Instead of petrol you can also use petrol lighter fuel (Zippo or Ronson)

Good thinking mate. I should be able to buy that at a supermarket shouldny i?

Yep you should.

acetone / nail varnish remover should do the job , got the sticky stuff off mine with some car polish and a microfiber cloth took a little bit of rubbing but came off quite easily

I just used white spirits (very little amount) and then when most was removed just used T Cut

Worked a treat :)

Cheers lads i'll get to work on it in a bit

Right lads.. Fully de-badged. Picked up some loctite superglue remover today and gave it ago, dabbed it on round the adhesive, left it a few min then pealed it off, worked a treat.

However, I dropped a right clanger when doing the adhesive on the side ghia emblems on the doors, left the stuff on too long by the looks of it as it has physically burnt the outline of the emblem into the door strange thing is the pack says leave it on over night, I left it on for 15-30min and its melted away the door.

Am I gonna be able to buy replacement trip parts for the doors and how much are they likely to be?

sure i,ve seen these on ebay today i,ll have another look see what i can find

id use the finis numbers at a last resort,

they are very expensive new, but if you purchased from a breakers or somwhere similar then they would be considerably cheaper.

Gotta start contacting breakers again then :( may take a while
